Whatever you do, never get Yellow Cab. They're late all the time, and always lie about it. "Oh cab should be there in 20 minutes." Three hours later, still no cab.

Ask around on your floor. Or my floor. People are usually really chill about driving people around, even late at night or early in the morning.

First of all, **HIRE A PIANO TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT ANY PIANO YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN**. It will cost you $25-$75 and save you from a world of hassle and disappointment. If you hire a piano mover, a local move is going to be between $150 and $300. Cross country move will be closer to $750 to $2,000. If you call a few local piano technicians, they will have some suggestions about movers in your area. Uprights are doable with a couple of friends and a truck because there isn't too much that can go wrong. It's a bad idea to attempt moving a grand piano yourself without proper equipment and knowledge. If you're going to move an upright yourself, open the bottom panel (under the keys) and disconnected all of the pedal rods before moving. Also, never lay a piano on its back or on its side for a move.

Not from FL but I feel local piano shops are the way to go. http://www.jimspianos.com/jimspianos/moving.htm

Hire it out from a piano mover. Search Craigslist or Yelp. My move costed about $250 for 20 miles and 5 stairs.

If you get a spinet (not really recommended), they're not particularly heavy (200 pounds?), so a few guys with a pick up truck can haul one no problem. A trailer would help a lot. If you get a studio or a full upright you will want to consider renting a set of [piano dollies](https://www.google.com/search?q=piano+dolly&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=UrB&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=4QjnULegHdSdqQGBl4GICw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAA&biw=1920&bih=932) (I think mine cost about $20 to rent for the day) and a trailer if you're not going to hire professionals to move it for you. Regardless of your method or the piano you choose, plan to have a tech come tune it after you get it home. I'd wait a day or two to let it adjust to the environment in it's new home.

I have moved three uprights with 2 men, a pickup, runners with cleats (basically a sturdy plank with a foot to stabilize), and a sturdy flat dolly (four wheels). But they were all first floor to first floor moves.

Carefully.

I would hire a piano mover. The fact that they make all of their money off of solely moving pianos serves as a testament to how difficult it can be.
